Washington DC police have issued a warning about armed robbers targeting and stealing thousands of dollars worth of winter coats in broad daylight.

In the span of 48 hours, multiple residents were robbed of their Canada Goose and Moncler jackets at gunpoint.

Police said that three to four masked thieves wearing dark clothing approached the victims and demanded their jackets as well as other items before making off with them in a car.

My blazer is made to measure and wasn't cheap, but I doubt any self-respect thief would be seen dead in anything that I wear. We have a police officer in the family, one of my cousin's sons. He cracked up when I shared with him these photos, along with The Daily Mail's report.
"Any thief wearing your clothes wouldn't exactly blend in," he joked.

The Windsor by KcKibbin, Driscoll & Dorsey:

Crown	5-1/4" (open)
Brim	Dimensional 2-1/8" (F&B) x 2" (S) with 3/8" binding symmetric
Ribbon	1-1/2"
Weight	94g

Considering the frayed trailing tail on the bow and the unsewn sweatband seam this might be a pre-war hat from the 20s/30s. The hat has a bit of character but the intense blueberry blue felt was too good to pass up.

Mark (@M Hatman) has a wholesale catalog from 1931 for McKibbin featured in the ephemera thread. Unfortunately the Windsor is not listed in the catalog.
